Up to now the lowest place subcategory for towns and cities is suburb (used also in the center).</p>
<p>If you just want to assign a name to an area, you could do this with name=xy associated for instance to an area tagged "landuse=residential". If there are different landuses and/or several polygons you could make a multipolygon to combine the parts under a common name. This will record the name, but it will not denote the kind of subdivison (like neighbourhood), not even the type of feature.</p>
<p>I suggest to continue discussion about this on the <a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging">tagging mailing list</a>.</p>dieterdreistWed, 13 Apr 2011 02:31:47 +0100https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/4431/how-can-i-name-subdivisions-or-neighborhoods-for-better-accuracy/4439
